[Q] Stuck in bootloop on Jelly Bean? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to know why when I flash any Jelly Bean rom it is on the spinning triangles for hours. This is getting really annoying as I would really like Jelly Bean. I have never installed a rom before.

Do a full wipe minus your external storage and flash it again. What recovery and which jelly bean? Please don't say cwm.

My recovery is TWRP. I've tried both the Hashcode and Jandycane build.

Okay which twrp and follow my instructions at the bottom of my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923010 for flashing a ROM if your using twrp 2.3.1.1 you need to be using 2.2.2.1 initial boot always takes time if you continue to have trouble in twrp select mount make sure there aren't checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them and try reboot then system.

Smirkit is a great flashable zip created by XDA member Smirkis that you simply just flash in recovery, then install terminal to change your recovery or your bootloader read his op for full instructions they're fairly straight forward I believe. As far a TWRP flashable zip simply place the zip on your sdcard and flash it from recovery then select reboot no wipes needed very easy.

Please help
Wipe factory/data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash rom zip, flash gapps zip, reboot then system if prompted. Initial boot of any new ROM takes a bit but should never exceed 10 mins and I'm rating that on the extreme high end it should be more like 3 or 4 mins. If you continue to have problems make sure you are doing md5 checks on your files and consider restoring your backup and return to twrp 2.2.2.1 .

The issue in the OP was that he had CWM installed instead of TWRP. Clearly, your issue is completely different.

I've tried with multiple recoveries same issue with all of them, and yeah it's been way past 10 minutes now, about 2 hours, and I always wipe everything including dalvik/battery stats etc everytime before flashing a new rom
Install TWRP 2.2.x
Wipe system and factory reset
Install your ROM or even a different ROM
Do this, and I'm positive you will have success, UNLESS...there are error messages in TWRP that you have failed to mention.

[Q] "Status 7" While Updating to 4.2.1, Unable to Boot

Hi,
I was running 4.2.0 on a Takju Gnex. Attempted to update to 4.2.1 using the Takju link from the Android Police website using Clockworkmod Recovery. Gave me a "Status 7" error. I tried rebooting, and it hung on the Google logo for over 10 minutes. Restarted into Recovery, no longer have a USB mounting option, so cannot connect it to my laptop anymore. If I plug it into my laptop while it's stuck on the Google logo, my laptop recognizes it as an "Android 1.0" device, but won't do anything with it like it used to.
So I can only access the Recovery on my phone, but cannot get my laptop to recognize the device (this wasn't a problem before trying to update).
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I see I can transfer files to my Gnex using adb. Is my only option to just flash a factory 4.2 image and start over?
Same here
I have the exact same problem...
Help would be much appreciated.
This is how I fixed my problem without wiping everything and starting over:
-retrieve system.img from stock 4.2.0 zip
-flash it to my Gnex using fastboot
-flash 4.2.1
-reflash SuperSU to get my root access back
No problems!
This might help

Could also be that the device is reading that the rom was meant for another model...
OP:
Post three of the guide in my Sig.
I had same issue so I wiped cache ad Dalvik cache and went to fastboot mode and flashed system.img and boot.img also I flashed CWM touch 5.# that is not recommended on 4.2.#
I have made Deodexed rooted ROM of 4.2.1 and it's for takju.. you can find it from GNex Android development section..

As a semi-noob who has a bigxie 4.2 with CWM and the stock 4.2.1 system.img file...
...do I boot into CWM recovery, and run just "fastboot flash system system.img"? It's my first time dealing with the .img files and I'm not entirely sure how they're handled yet.

I'm aware of that step, I'm just trying to verify that it's only the system.img file that needs updating, and not the four others (boot, recovery, userdata,radio) that were in the package, and that the command I believe to be correct is the only one that needs to be run to update/return to stock without wiping the phone completely back to empty.
As an update, yes, what I was asking about did work and got me to 4.2.1 with only the need to re-root and put a widget back.

[Q] Custom ROM Installation Help

I have the Galaxy S III SGH-i747m model on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM on the Canadian Rogers network. (I live in BC)
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to install a custom ROM. I have rooted and installed Super User, and have flashed the TWRP Recovery ROM v2.4.1.0 I still have the stock kernel and haven't mucked around in the permissions besides installing SuperUser SU app from Google Play store. Right now, I have managed to wipe out my entire internal storage. I have everything backed up on the google server, so I'm not too worried, but I have no OS right now. Regardless, I have tried many times with many different custom ROMs, and everytime I get a Status 7 error and a failed ROM flash. I have been trying for weeks to find out what I'm doing wrong, but can't seem to find anything that works. Can anyone please help me out with a step by step guide to install a custom rom? Heck, even to re-install my stock ROM would be better than nothing at this point. The last guide I tried to follow was Cyanogenmod 10.1. The file was called Liquid Smooth.
I currently have the ROM file and the gapps pakage on my external SD card, but, everytime I try to install it I get that Status 7 error.
Thanks in advance.

make sure you have the correct ROM and gapps (compatible with your model). then i would try a different recovery.
you could download this flashable clockworkmod recovery zip and place it on your external sd card: http://d-h.st/8qP
it's not a touch version. you'll have to use the vol up and vol down buttons to navigate and the power button the select.
in twrp, mount external sd and then flash the CWM recovery like you would a rom. reboot into recovery.
make sure the external sd is still mounted and flash ROM & gapps twice. reboot

Can you not get into recovery any more? If you can why dont you post the links for the rom you are trying to install and we can tell you if its the right one. Also do you have a external SD card to put the ROM and Gapps on

he has the rom and gapps on the external already.
if you can get into download mode, i'd try restoring via odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
1. Extract contents of the zip/rar archives
2. Wipe data-factory reset/cache/dalvik-cache
3. Plug phone into PC
4. Place the phone in Download Mode (vol dwn + home + power). Press volume up when prompted
5. Open Odin and ensure the COM box is highlighted, detecting your device
6. Uncheck the Auto Reboot option
7. In the PDA box, select the .tar.md5 file you downloaded
8. Flash the file by hitting Start
9. Once you get a Success message, pull the battery and then replace. Immediately go into recovery (vol up + home + power. release power button at Galaxy S3 logo and/or vibrate).
10. Select Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache. Reboot
you can then do some research and decide what files/procedures you want to try if you wish to root again and flash custom firmware
Thanks for the help guys. I am attempting to restore my phone right now. Will let you know how it went.
OK! Up and running! And I have it rooted with the latest TWRP recovery image installed. Now I just need to find a good custom ROM. Thanks againg guys!

Lost recovery when trying to flash 4.3 ROM

Ok so I am not the greatest when it comes to flashing ROMs but so far I have managed to get by.
I went from MMuzzyROM 4.2.2 to [ROM] [4.3] [JSS15J]. I wiped my data/dalvick/cache, flashed the new ROM and Gaaps and installed SuperuserSU. As of right now SuperuserSU will not install and I get an installation error. And when using Rom Manager I can not reboot into recovery. And there is a bit more, when I try and boot into recovery from the holding the volume and power button down, after choosing recovery the android with the error shows up. From what I understand is that the 4.3 rom I flashed removed the stock recovery, but I am just confused how to get back recovery.
My main question is did I loose root and how can I get the recovery option back.
Thanks, Noel

what's the fastboot command you're using to flash recovery.
about loosing your recovery after flashing/boot/reboot OS for the first time, it's probably the same that 4.2 had

/system/install-recovery.sh

The error message is when using the clockwork mod app to install the recovery, once downloaded it states an error has occurred. Then when trying TWRP I am following these steps I get "fastboot is not a recognizable command..." I am pretty lost as you can tell and am thankful for the help.

Mainly because I thought if I had rooted my device and done all this once, I should remember how to do it again. But through ignorance I thought I could and be able to remember the steps and what not. I'll read through it and figure it out, it was just a moment of panic of losing the option of recovery that I have had for a long time and not being able to use it means (or I think it means) I am just stuck of 4.3 for a bit and hopefully the ROM isn't too bad.

Every 4.3 ROM I flash works fine, until reboot then I get stuck at Google screen. Can't backup or restore. Can't even reflash a 4.2.2. I HAVE to do a full wipe SD card and all, then use adB to sideload a rom.. I've flashed the newest primeD04 boot loader or whatever it is. Still the exact same issue.
I have twrp 4.2.2 I believe , maybe 4.2.0. If that helps..

I tried flashing paranoid android 3.94 which is android 4.3 with adb. Hoping it would work different . Nope same result.
I am able to get back on 4.2.2 using adb. I'm on 4.2.2 typing this message . I just need to find out why I can't get on 4.3 with getting stuck at boot screen
This is probably a silly question , but is your bootloader locked I have the gnex toro and it can get testy at times also try flashing this ROM its what I'm currently on and it works great no issues its stock rooted 4.3 follow the steps in the post

I believe my boot loader is unlocked. When. I reboot I see he unlocked lock. But I did flash the new boot loader so maybe I would have to re unlock it? I will try the ROM you posted
Seems like a lot of the time people who are having this stuck at Google screen issue have flashed the new boot loader. Or am I just imagining things?
toro, toro!

I had the issue when I tried to go directly from 4.2.2 to a 4.3 custom. The only thing that cleared it up was flashing stock 4.3 from google. After that, no more problems.
Hmm wonder what could be causing it. I did have this issue going from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Every 4.3 ROM I have flashed has booted.
toro, toro!
I solved my problem after reflashing the new boot loader and a new ROM reboot. Then power off. Battery pull then I wiped cache. I'm not sure exactly what the issue was but now I can load up any 4.3 ROM without a problem )

Oh no... I installed PA 3.94 yesterday and everything seemed great. I didn't have any issues booting the first time (although it took a while), but now I'm afraid to reboot my phone in case it gets stuck at the boot screen like you guys are describing.
EDIT: I did a reboot when I got home and it booted up fine, although I felt like it took longer than on previous versions.

Gotta be able to reboot your phone brother lol. Give it a shot. If it locks up there is always a way to fix the issue... Good luck. Best wishes
FIX for issue getting stuck on google screen after 4.3 reboot
I don't know if anyone has posted this elsewhere. I had the same problem yesterday - after a lot of playing around this is how I fixed it:
***Note1: you need adb and fastboot.
***Note2: make external backup of things (i.e. photos) you want to keep using adb.
Procedure:
1. Download 4.2.2 image from google (can't post link because of spam prevention rules - you can search for "google developers nexus images")
2. extract files to location of choice
3. Download latest custom recovery image of your choice. I prefer TWRP (latest 2.6)
3. reboot to recovery, do a full factory reset (wipe everything, you will lose all your storage).
4. Reboot to bootloader (from phone off, power plus volume rocker).
5. flash stock image via fastboot (change names and paths acordingly):
Code:
fastboot devices (make sure fastboot can see your device)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-<current_ver>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio /path/to/radio-toro-<current_ver>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma /path/to/radio-cdma-toro-<current_ver>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update /path/to/image-mysid-<version>.zip
5. After this last step, the phone should reboot.
6. Go through the phone setup process.
7. power off, and boot to bootloader
8. flash custom recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/custom-recovery.img
9 reboot to recovery. TWRP will ask you if you want to root when you reboot to system.
10. Phone rooted and like new!
I think that is all - you can flash your ROM of choice after this!
